Every Aussie is a fan of the good old meat pie and for the pinnacle of pie experiences, stop at the historic Pinnacle Pub for a famous Pinnacle Pie. Made with the finest of local ingredients, owner Darren Gordon gets out of bed well before sunrise each morning to keep up with the demand of selling between 800 and 900 pies a week, in seven different varieties.

There’s nothing humble about this selection of pies. People from all over the world have sat down on the big old verandah and soaked up the atmosphere of an old-fashioned country pub while tucking into a steak, mushroom and cheese pie or the likes, and gone out to tell the world about them.

Looking inland from Mackay, Pinnacle and the Pioneer Valley sit amid fields of lush green sugarcane and rolling hills, the perfect setting to stop for a world-famous pie.
